The immediate benefits are increased light and a feeling of spaciousness, but there are also some important social and practical benefits.<\/p>\n<p>We all have busy lives and want to spend as much time as possible enjoying family and friends. With open floor plans, nobody needs to be shut away in the kitchen missing out on the socialising. The cook may find they get more offers of help too!<\/p>\n<p>Many people find they have an under-used room, such as a dining room, which may only be used on special occasions.
